Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

·the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are washed with warm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;

·the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it is still warm using warm water and detergent, followed by careful rinsing and drying;

·the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any scale;

·in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes of the flame spreaders should be checked to make sure they are free of any obstructions;

·Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended to dry any water drops;

•On models with glass covers, the covers should be

cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or abrasives is to be avoided.

N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners are still warm.

Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended changing it every year.

Replacing the oven lamp

·Unplug the oven from the mains;

·Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;

·Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics::

-Voltage 230V

-Wattage 25W

-Type E14

·Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains.

Greasing the taps

The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to turn. If so, they must be cleaned internally and the grease replaced.

N.B: This operation must be carried by a technician authorised by the manufacturer.
